You may extend this celebration by connecting with people who have no friends or those who are less fortunate and unable to celebrate such events. You have many possibilities to make this day special for them as well as for yourself. Creating personalized gifts for them will make them feel special. You can plan events like indoor games, outings or a movie, allowing your limitless minds to generate greater ideas to make this day unforgettable for them. You can do this because you are endowed with limitless possibilities to do things that will bring greater fulfillment and happiness into one’s lives. What hinders us from taking such courageous steps is the fear of venturing into the unknown.

Consider the story of an eaglet raised among ordinary chickens. As it grew, it observed the vast, limitless sky and marvelled at birds, particularly eagles, flying freely. Despite being made to believe its life was confined to the chicken farm, limited to eating worms and grains, one day it could not resist the temptation. It stretched out its large wings, attempting to fly with the conviction, “I can do it.” Soon, it found itself soaring and floating in the vast, boundless blue sky. The American author Napoleon Hill has often emphasized, “What your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve.”

As February advances, you will start thinking of your final exams in school academics. Perhaps due to your past experiences, you are led to believe certain false notions like, you are unable to score high marks, cannot remember well, speak confidently in public or write an article for a magazine. These limiting thoughts and convictions may have restricted your possibilities. As the exams draw near, you need to embrace the belief in your limitless power. Maybe you can do it by repeating to yourself, “Yes, I can do it; yes, I can achieve my goals and score high marks.” With these beliefs and convictions, put forth your best efforts to attain success.

In this issue of The Teenager Today, we have featured stories of people like the Tree Girl, the Ocean Saviour, the Red Light Girl Saviour, and the Chandrayaan Man, to inspire you to adopt a mindset of limitless possibilities.

To study abroad with a full scholarship is a dream come true for almost everybody who decides to get into the game of applications to study abroad. So what differentiates those who manage to get the scholarship from those who don’t get the funding? Even though there is no one formula as scholarship winners are as much same as they are different. But let’s take a closer look at what may be some of the factors that could potentially convince an admissions committee to award the scholarship to one candidate over another.

1. Consistent Academic Record

There is no getting away from it. A steady performance in academics demonstrates to the admissions committee that a candidate is dependable and hardworking. So if you are in school/college and reading this do make sure that you study hard and maintain good marks. Do apply for those Olympiads and work towards them as every attempt to reach the state or the national level will strengthen your academic foundation and take you further in your quest for success. However, if due to any reason your academics take a dip, address it in your application. For instance, if one year your academics dipped because you lost focus and did not study that hard, mention what you learned from that experience in your application. The admissions committee does not expect candidates to be perfect but they are curious to assess how the candidate has coped with the situation.
